If neither of the chosen players are killed during the encounter, you have successfully defeated The Elevator Hard Mode.Ĭomment by DracomortisUsing the vast repertoire of engineering tools that I have acquired in my journeys, I shall attempt to overcome the dreaded Elevator boss and catalog the results of my endeavors herein.ĭay 1: As the Elevator's primary wipe mechanic, Fall to Your Death, is dependent upon the forces of gravity, I thought to use the tried-and-true Flexweave Underlay. This will happen twice, one target per group however, a well-timed Bloodlust and a quick raid can bypass this second cast. If you are this target, immediately halt all movement. As your tanks pull The Elevator, and the raid runs in behind them, the Priest will cast Leap of Faith on a random target. To activate this encounter's Hard Mode, place a Holy Priest on the edge of the platform. The Elevator is an unusual encounter in that it drops no loot. If the forward group successfully leaves The Elevator, the boss will reset back to Phase 1, allowing for the second group to repeat the same process. Backpedaling and strafing are disastrous here, as Phase 4 and Phase 2 share the same cooldown. Be prepared for this sudden change in downward movement, and run forward off The Elevator and onto solid ground. The Elevator will reach the ground and suddenly halt. Phase 4 is arguably the most-challenging phase of the encounter. Refrain from such actions simply hold your position while The Elevator takes your character in a downwards fashion. Many raiders begin to panic at this time, blowing their cooldowns and adjusting their footing. If done successfully though, you will begin to descend. By this time, if all forward group members aren't full on The Elevator, the fight is a wipe. Phase 3 begins after the 3 second window from Phase 2 ends. Do not move your character at all during this transition. The Phase 2-3 transition can be one of the tougher challenges of this encounter. The forward group must move onto the platform and halt all movement! Do not try to keep moving forward, and do not backpedal backwards. Phase 2 begins when The Elevator reaches the top of the ledge. Paladins with good timing may be moved to the front group, but it is ill-advised. Move your Rogues, Priests, and Mages near the front of the group, and keep all other classes to the back. It is imperative that you not try to interact with the elevator in this phase at all. It only takes a few seconds for the elevator to rise, so have your raid leader call out all movement. Position your raid near the edge, preferably spread out into two groups to minimize confusion. Phase 1 begins with The Elevator moving in a rapid pace from the ground floor to the top of the ledge. This encounter does not vary from 10-man to 25-man modes, but groups will have to be positioned accordingly. It must be fought every time the raid wishes to pass into the rest of the zone. Raids must pass through The Elevator to continue through the rest of the instance, and is considered a gear check encounter. Only after defeating all of them will Nefarian himself become available, standing in the middle of the Vault as Lord Victor Nefarius.Comment by 407726The Elevator is is a four-phase fight located in Blackwing Descent. The Vault branches off into three areas where Chimaeron, Atramedes and Maloriak can be found. You next descend into the Vault, where Nefarian's experiments take place. There is no required order, but Magmaw is usually considered the "first" boss. When you enter the instance, the Omnotron Defense System will be off to your right with Magmaw off to your left. The instance consists of two subzones, the Broken Hall and the Vault of the Shadowflame. Herein you will find many of my failed experiments and ultimately my greatest triumph! Heroic Lord Victor Nefarius yells: Mortals that fancy themselves HEROES have entered the Broken Hall! Oh, I do hope this 'raid' will amuse me more than the last!
